Getting an application to be on top of other applicationsI have an application with an icon that sits in the system tray. When I
double click it the form is maximised, but I want it to sit at the front of all the other applications that are open. How do I do this? I suspect an API but maybe in VB2005 there's another way. -Jerry MyForm.TopMost = True
